I finally finished my deep-dive article on DOGWALK, like I promised :D
All about making a playable character in Godot with a choppy animation style! Plenty of visual examples & code snippets! Took quite a while to put together.

I live in a place where it rains A LOT... This morning the neighbourhood was covered in ash from wild moorland fires nearby... All is not well.
